This 3-day training deepens the research, theory and intervention information learned in Level 1. Through the use of video from Drs. John and Julie Gottman's practices, presentations and practical immersion, you learn to integrate their personal style with Gottman Method Couples therapy. You receive direct, supportive feedback as each participant practices interventions. In day three, your focus switches to complicated cases involving co-morbidities, such as affairs, substance abuse, PTSD and mood disorders.
Completion of Level 1 training is a prerequisite to Level 2 training. Completion of Level 2 training is a prerequisite to Level 3 training and is the next step toward certification as a Gottman Couples Therapist.
Your enrollment fee includes a 500-page Gottman Institute Clinical Manual.
